In a surprising turn, Jordan actually responded to the story on Thursday.

"I've been there many times and no one told me a thing," Jordan said in a text message to ESPN Chicago. "Then all of a sudden they come to me on the 11th hole and say I can't wear cargo shorts. Wow! The round is almost over and you want me to buy shorts now? Yeah, right!!"

For declining to change his clothes, Jordan will reportedly not be invited back to La Groce Country Club in Miami Beach.

According to ESPN Chicago, a pro shop employee said the required clothing is as follows: "a collared shirt and golf shorts or pants, no cargo or denim. If there are pockets on the outside, it's not allowed."
